Measuring the efficiency of a national park is difficult due to, among other factors, the heterogeneity of resources supplied (e.g., budget, staffs) and outcomes expected (e.g., income, visitors' flow). While this is an issue in protected area management, it has been approached successfully in other fields by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA has a number of advantages over other techniques as it simultaneously uses multiple heterogeneous inputs and outputs to determine which projects are performing most efficiently, referred to as being at the efficiency frontier, when compared to others in the data set. This study therefore uses DEA for the evaluation of management efficiency in Old Oyo National Park for the period of 2001-2015. The results showed that the park was efficient for 11 and 13 years, respectively, in terms of its overall technical and pure technical efficiency with a mean scale efficiency of 97%. Also, the park operated at 80% of its productive scale size. These results, and the use of DEA, highlight both the success of using this technique in helping determine protected area efficiency and those factors to consider while allocating resources for new projects at the park.

Mierzenie efektywności parku narodowego jest trudne ze względu, między innymi, na takie czynniki jak heterogeniczność dostarczonych źródeł (np. dane nt. budżetu, personelu) oraz oczekiwanych rezultatów (np. dochód, przepływ odwiedzających). Gdy tak rzecz wygląda w zarządzaniu obszarem chronionym, w innych dziedzinach podejście może być stosowane z powodzeniem przez wykorzystanie granicznej analizy danych (DEA). DEA ma kilka zalet w porównaniu z innymi technikami gdyż równocześnie wykorzystuje wielorakie heterogeniczne dane wejściowe i wyjściowe w celu określenia które projekty są najskuteczniejsze, które to określa się jako graniczny obszar skuteczności w porównaniu z innymi w zestawie danych. Dlatego też w niniejszym badaniu używa się DEA do oceny skuteczności zarządzania w Parku Narodowym Old Oyo w okresie 2001-2015. Wyniki wskazują, że park ten był efektywnie zarządzany przez 11 i 13 lat, odpowiednio, jeśli idzie o ogólną techniczną oraz czysto techniczną skuteczność w średniej skali efektywności wynoszącej 97%. Również, park ten działał w 80% swojej całkowitej skali produktywności. Te wyniki oraz użycie DEA podkreślają zarówno sukces wykorzystania tej techniki w określaniu skuteczności obszaru chronionego oraz tych czynników, które należy rozważyć przy alokowaniu źródeł przeznaczonych dla projektów realizowanych w Parku.
